Find Our What Your Market Want

I bet you probably have seen this thousand of times when you started your affiliate marketing business. Still, I see many affiliate marketers are still having problem in this area. So, today, I am going to share with you 2 channels I personally use to find what the market wants.

But before that, let's recap on what you might have seen,

• Do market research in your target
• Find out specifically what they want
• Are there any differences between what they want with the what the market is offering
• How much are they willing to pay to get what they want
• Check out your competitors, their offers and pricing

I think those are the basics you need to do when you are looking for your niche.

Then, where to start looking for your niche?

When I want to research about the niche, I usually go the particular forum to see what people are looking for. If you are affiliate for digital camera, simply key in "digital camera forum" and join the forum as member.

Read the thread to see what issues the members are facing and you can ask specific question to understand better what they need. You are in that niche, you know better than me how and what to ask.

You can even start a poll to get the members to vote on your research. For example, you can start a poll about how much are the members are willing to pay for a digital camera. Give them a few ranges and monitor the polling over certain period and then you will know which kind of digital camera you should focus on.

From the forums, you can also link the members to your website through your signature. Once they are there, offer them something valuable so that you can capture their email addresses for further contacts. Remember, most people are sold after they have seen your offer at least 7 times.

The second channel I use is to go to www.43things.com/ to see what people are trying to achieve.

When you reach the page, just look for the goals that are listed under the "need inspiration?" tag. Simply click on the goal and you see a list of 10 smaller goals. Indirectly, you have just gotten 10 ideas for your niche.

If you want more, you can click on the avatar on the left side of the page. Once the page load into the particular person's goal, scroll to the bottom of the page to see what people from around the world want to do.

Another tip for you, the bolder the font, the more people wanted to achieve that goal hence, the bigger the market for your product.

I hope the 2 channels help and you have no more excuse to say that you don't know where to start looking for your niche.

Budgeting For Your Affiliate Marketing Business...

Today, I am going to talk to you about budgeting. Something that not all affiliate marketing ebooks is going to share with you. Most ebooks you read probably will show you how to start your affiliate marketing business and how you can profit with it.

Then again, the information you see might not tell you WHEN you can make money with the business and that can be difficult for you. Because as long as you are not making money with the business, you are losing money in it.

Imagine the money you have to put in for hosting, buying domains, marketing and etc. Even if you run your business with every free channels you can find, you are still making loses considering the time, effort and your personal expenditure you have put in.

That is why you should never borrow money to start your affiliate marketing business. How are you going to repay the bank loan when you are not making money? The bank will continue to charge interest on you regardless how successful you are with your affiliate marketing business. It is still OK when you have your day job but it is a total different issue when you are retrenched, retire or in any condition where you have no income.

What if I borrow from my family and friends, you ask. I think you can do that if they are not in a hurry to get their money back and you will feel OK even when you are in debt to them. You have to know that there is no guarantee when you can start making money with affiliate marketing. Ask any affiliate marketer and they will tell you the same thing.

Many people rush into this business because they are overly positive with the business.

Who doesn't want to be financially free? Who doesn't want to work at home in pajamas? Who doesn't want to be the boss and sipping red wine while seeing money coming into the bank accounts? We all want that but you are not going to get without more investment and effort and that is the next thing I want to talk to you about,

Running Cost

Have you ever thought of the money you need in case there is no money coming in for the following 6 -12 months (assuming you are not going to ditch affiliate marketing like other mediocre affiliate marketers when you don't see money coming in after 3 months)? Do you have any reserve that you can use even you are not making a single dime for the next 6-12 months?

Many affiliate marketers as well as the ebooks you saw ignored this fact.

The truth is, it rarely happens that way. Many successful affiliate marketers took time before their business start to flourish and it is not uncommon that people stick with the business for years before they see money coming in.

So, when you are stating your affiliate marketing business, take into consideration the money you can spare and the risk you can take. I don't want you to be in debt just to start a business.

Affiliate Marketing Mistakes That You Need To Look Out For

Before you start your affiliate marketing business, you have to set up a plan so that you don't bump into the mistakes that can kill your business. If you haven't made your plan, it is still not too late. Take a look at the mistakes below so that you can build a successful affiliate marketing business.

1. Assumption

Never assume that all your visitors have the latest program to see your site. I for one, belong to those people who hardly update my internet software. Speaking of that, can you believe that I am still using internet explorer 6.0?

That showed you that you are going to miss my business if your website is dedicated only to internet explorer 7.0 users. Take into consideration that there are different kind of internet users out there and you ought to have one or not two systems that can suit most of the users.

2. Marketing offline

For you to know, affiliate marketing is not something that is no longer just limited to online marketing anymore nowadays.

Many successful affiliate marketers are marketing their product offline as well. They told their family and friends about their business and they even advertise on newspaper about the products they are affiliate to.

Remember, your customers buy through your affiliate link and there is no reason why you should limit the traffic seeing your product.

3. Not building list

Do I need to say more about this? I think I have told you countless of times that if you want to make money with affiliate marketing, you will want to start building your own list, share valuable information with your list members, build relationship with them, ask their need and offer solution to their need.

It is as easy as that.

4. Not marketing timely

Since we are talking about list building, you might want to take a look at this mistake as well. It was said that people only buy after they have seen your products for at least 7 times. Let me ask you then,

"Can you market to the same person 7 times if you don't have his or her contact?"

It will be a difficult task to make money with affiliate marketing when you can't market to the same crowd consistently and timely.

5. Wait

Many affiliate marketers used cheap hosting packages to host their websites. This can greatly affect the loading time of your website.

Never make your visitors wait. Picture yourself in your visitors' shoes. Do you think you will have the patience to wait for the website to load? I probably not. If your website is like that, you will lose many opportunities to sell your products.

6. Right traffic

You should have known by now that traffic is very important to build your affiliate marketing business. However, what you need is not simply any traffic. You need quality traffic that is ready to buy your products.

In case you still haven't notice it, there are people who are selling fake traffic for profit. If you buy into that traffic, you are building your marketing cost instead of profiting from the business. Even though the traffic you bought was legit, you are still not making money if the traffic never convert.

You need to start looking into how much your traffic is converting into sales. That's the bottom line.

If need be, you might want to consider generating traffic from PPC, SEO, article marketing, blogging and etc.

The Good And Bad Of Clickbank

Like me, you probably started your affiliate marketing business with Clickbank. Why? Because Clickbank probably has the largest digital products in the world. If you are looking for an ebook to sell, you probably will see something that suit your niche market in Clickbank. However, there are also some dark sides to Clickbank that you might not know. Well, you can't exactly blame this on Clickbank because it is the people who exploited the convenience of the system.

And before we proceed to the good and bad of Clickbank, you might want to take a look also at the explanation of the abbreviations found on Clickbank.

$/sale: the commission you are going to get when someone bought the product through your affiliate link.

Future $: the recurring or residual income. This affiliate program might offer back end offer or charge certain monthly fee for membership.

Total $/sale: total commission of $/sale + Future $.

%/sale: the percentage of sales the vendor is offering. If the %/sale of the product is 75% and it cost $100, your commission will be $75 (including Clickbank commission).

%rfd: this the number of sales came from affiliate marketer instead of the vendor.

Grav: this is the gravity which means the number of affiliate marketers who are promoting this product. So, the higher the number, the competition you will face.

That basically sum up the terms you need to know about Clickbank and let's proceed to the good and bad about this popular affiliate network.

Good

Just like what you saw in the abbreviations, Clickbank provides clear statistic to the performance of the affiliate product it carries.

As you already know, Clickbank hold most of the digital products you need and it basically settle all the administrative stuff for you. You just need to sign up for an account, find your affiliate program, create your affiliate link and start promoting your link.

As long as your commission has reached your set threshold, Clickbank will automatically mail you the check twice a month. Don't worry, Clickbank is punctual with the delivery. You just need to be ready to cash in your check.

The commission you get from Clickbank is usually very high. You can even earn up to 75% of commission. That is not all, imagine the money you will be earning if the products come with back end offer or monthly membership. Although the commission you earn from these channels might not be as high, it is still a great income source considering that you don't need to do much to get the money.

Lastly, you can promote multiple products with a single affiliate ID and this can really save your time and help you manage your affiliate marketing business.

Bad & Ugly

Because Clickbank is a famous affiliate network, many vendors publish their product with the network. However, Clickbank didn't screen through the products hence I can say the products that you see in the network is not all are quality products. You need to look at the reputation of the vendor, the sales page and probably search for its review in the search engines. Surely you don't want to waste your time promoting something that is not good.

The worst thing about Clickbank is that it is easy for people to hijack your commission.

It is common that buyers will create their own affiliate link and order the product through their link. Once they reached the threshold, they will get the commission and save some money in the process.

Imagine all the hard work you have done to promote the product to the visitors and they bought the product without sharing the commission to you. It is really sad.

I hope I have shared enough information with you about Clickbank and you can start making money with the business.

Are You Equipped With These 3 Things?

Since you are starting your affiliate marketing business, I would assume you have prepared extensively for the business. But just before you start promoting your business, I would like to do a quick check with you that you have at least equipped the 3 things below for your business.

1. Unique websites

I don't know about you but I have seen affiliate marketers lumping all of their products into a single website.

That will certainly affect your ranking on the search engines. Why? Because you didn't give the search engine a clear understanding of what your business is about. Your products can range from coffee machine to game console. Then, you are like a grocery store with a single displaying shelf where you stuff all your products onto the shelf.

Do you think anyone will recommend your business to others? Worst still, do you think there will be people wanted to visit your store for products?

I know that it can be quite challenging financially managing a few websites for your affiliate products. However, these are the challenges you have to go through if you were to be successful in this business. If you can't afford the budget, you can always promote some of your affiliate products in free platform like blogging.

2. Freebies

If you already setup your websites for every product, do you offer any freebie say like demo version on your website? You should know that most people only buy after seeing your offer for at least 7 times. So, it is important that you have a channel to show your offer to your visitors constantly and the freebie help to do that.

In order to get your freebie, your visitors have to sign up to your newsletter or list. Then, you will schedule your autoresponder service to deliver your offers to your members accordingly. With that being said, you will also need to set aside some budget to pay for the autoresponder services.

However, the list is not just for you to exploit on your visitors. You too have to share valuable information with them regarding the niche you are in. This is very effective in helping you to build relationship with your list members. Once you have built the bond with your members, it is easier to talk to them to find out what they really need from you and that really ease up the process for making money with affiliate marketing.

3. Traffic

Well, you can't create the unique websites and leave them alone. Right? You need people to visit them, look into them and think about your offer. That is why you have to

Write your personal review about the affiliate product. Share with your visitors how you feel after using the product and how it has actually improved your life with the product. Buyers are interested to see what other people think about the product before they buy it. If you can share an honest review with them and have something to sign up to your list, you will close the deal easier.

Besides, writing product reviews can help to boost your website ranking. If you are having problem exposing your website, try writing reviews and include your affiliate link at the end of the review. It can help you to make your website more visible.

How To Build Your Affiliate Marketing Business With No Money

You probably have heard it many times that you can build an affiliate marketing business for free. However, when you really go into the business, you start to see that you actually need money to build the business. But what can you do if you are tied down by the starting budget? Below are some useful tips to help you start your business without spending much money.

1. Blogging

It is good that someone has invented blogging platform because this enable you to still make money with affiliate marketing even though you can't afford a website. With the success of numerous blogging sites, it has become a wonderful way to make money online.

You can setup your blog at blogger.com, start and wordpress.com, (not wordpress.org because you need manage it with hosting service). The setting up is easy and fast and both of the platforms provide ready made template for you to use. Both of these platforms also allow you to do some customization on the font, color and layout on your blog so that your blog can look more unique compare to the other bloggers.

Once you have setup your blog, start posting about your niche consistently. After that, start to market your blog in whatever way you can and here is one tip for you. You can actually import your blog to your facebook. Then, you can share what you have written in your blog with your friends. With this, you can imagine the traffic you will get if you are a popular person in facebook and you are having your own fan page.

However, you need to know that facebook can only import the writings you have done in your blog. It can't show the video you have posted on your blog. I am not sure about audio and picture because I personally haven't publish then yet.

2. Articles

Since you are writing for your blog, have you ever thought of writing articles to promote your affiliate marketing business?

Writing an article is similar to writing a blog. The difference is that when you are writing an article you tend to sound more professional instead more layback in your blog (well, at least I try to be more layback in my blog).

Then, try to limit your writing to 300-500 words per article. Not many people are interested to read an article with 1000+ words. If you really have so many things to say, try to make your articles into 2 separate parts to ease your readers.

But when you are submitting your articles to the article directories, remember that some directories will reject articles that are titled with part 1, part 2 and etc. So, structure your title properly so that your article will be accepted by the directories.

3. Forums

This is one of the most overlook methods affiliate marketers.

You might thought that you are unqualified to advice other people because you are new in affiliate marketing. But to tell you the truth,

"No one is unqualified to advice other people. Everyone can learn something from everyone else."

I am still learning about affiliate marketing even though I am making some money in this business and I believe many gurus in the business are also doing the same thing.

So, go ahead and start posting in forums.

How To Find Your Customers Even With Truck Loads Of Competitors

I don't know about you but there are more and more business being transacted online now more than ever before. If you look at it, there are more and more businesses being setup everyday and it is common nowadays that an affiliate marketer will have more than one affiliate marketing business. Since that is the case, how are you going to make money with this business when there are so many competitors in the market?

1. Search engine

You make your searches through the search engines. Right? So are the other internet users all around the world. So, what is the better way to get your clients if not through search engine marketing?

To start with that, build your website around your product and the possible way your product and service is going to be searched online. If you are an affiliate for coffee machine, you will want to start building your website with keywords tagging of coffee machine, articles, images and probably links to other websites selling coffee machine. However, looking at the humongous number of competitors nowadays, you might want to look for more targeted keywords to put in your website.

One of the ways to help make your website rank higher in the search engines is to get more links back to your website. You can ask the website owners to link back to back to you but some of you might feel awkward to do that. If that is the case, you can always make your website the authority site for your niche and people will be linking to your site without you even asking. However, that might take some time and hard effort.

2. PPC

I hope you already know basically how PPC works because I am not going to explain it here. The ultimate goal for using PPC is to get the maximum traffic with the least cost. Many affiliate marketers started their affiliate marketing business with PPC only to see later their marketing budget being sucked dry by the system.

If you are planning to use PPC to start your business, you MUST do your keyword research. Just like what you have read in the search engine marketing, competitors are everywhere in this business. If you start your PPC campaign with general keywords, I can guarantee you that you will burn your piggy bank if you compete with them head on.

If you are in the coffee machine niche, you might want to target the keywords with the specific brand you are affiliate with. But with the competition nowadays, you might still have to pay a great sum of money to get the traffic you want. Can you target your keyword with geographical area? This will certainly lowered your traffic because not many people will make searches like "your coffee machine brand Hawaii". Still, this can lower your cost and probably start a new selling channel for you.

The next important tip about PPC is that you MUST track your ad performance. If your PPC ad is not driving the right traffic and helping you to make the money you want, you will have to start tweaking your ad. Surely, you don't want to keep spending money instead of making money with this business. Right?

3. Outsource?

If you have the money to spare and if you are unfamiliar with PPC, I would advice you to hire external help first rather than starting your PPC campaign.

But before you pay for any help, you have to do some background check on the parties you are paying to. Do you know anyone who used their services? Can you research for their review online? Ask other affiliate marketers, do they have any company or freelancer they can recommend to you?

When you do get into contact with the external parties, remember to communicate clearly with them what you want to see with your business. Make sure that they understand fully about your product and services. Also, remember to get a clear quotation about their services and make sure there is no hidden cost. You don't want to end up in argument with the parties instead of getting your business up and running.

Some Article Marketing Tips To Help Your Affiliate Marketing Business

If you have contacts in this business, ask for permission to display your article in their websites. This can improve your authority in the business and will improve your ranking in the SERP.

I know that some of you might think that article writing is difficult and I have to agree with you. I still remember the first time I write my article. It took me nearly 3 hours to produce a 350 words article. It was really painful.

However, I can promise you that the more you do it, the better you will be with it. You can literally shorten your writing time and some time you can't even fit all your ideas in one single article.

Some Article Marketing Tips To Help Your Affiliate Marketing Business

If you are just starting with affiliate marketing and you are probably cautious with your marketing budget. To be honest with you, that is totally normal. And if you are looking for something to promote your business that won’t cost you much money, you will want to give article marketing a look.

However, before you start writing an article, you have to be clear of its purpose. If you are merely writing to post on websites or article directories, you probably won’t see much result from your article marketing effort.

Your article has to be,

• Easy to read and understand
• Valuable information
• Draw attention

So, how do you start article marketing?

1. Keywords

The reason you put keywords into your article is so that your article can turn up in the search engine result page (SERP) when prospects put in keywords in the search engines. When you use the right keywords, your article will turn up high in the SERP and that can really help to bring in traffic to your business.

However, getting the right keywords to write for your article is getting more and more challenging nowadays. So, avoid targeting general keywords in your article.

Let's say you are affiliate for dog training (this used to be a hot niche last time. I am not sure whether they still teach you to start from there or not). You will see many websites turn up when you Google for "dog training". So, logic tells you that this is a very competitive keyword. As someone who just started with the business, you MUST avoid it.

In that case, you probably want to try "training for German Sheppard" or "dog training at Hawaii". Try to add something specific in your keywords.

A Quick Tip About Keyword Research

Go to freekeywords.wordtracker, key in the general keywords for your niche, look at the list and use the keywords that are at lower part of the list. They generally are less competitive.

2. Quality content

What do you expect from an article?

Quality content isn't it?

I have seen too many articles where the content has no relation to the title or the summary. Many writers give very general information and sometime you will wonder what you have learnt after reading the article.

These writers caught your attention with the title and hopefully you will stick with their article and click on their link at the resource box. Let me tell you this, it doesn't work. You are only annoying your readers. If you are serious to make money with affiliate marketing through article marketing, I sincerely hope you can write with integrity.

Even though many affiliate marketing newbie are intimidated by writing their own article, again, that is totally normal. No one was born to write. Many good writers practice their writings and they became good at it. Well, I also run into writer block sometime. Still, the more I write, the faster I can break out of it. You can too.

So, start writing today and good luck.

Complacent or Not?

From the first glance of the title, you probably already answer "No" and that is right. And looking at the comparison between poor and rich internet marketer, you will understand why I said that.

1. Clear goal

Poor internet marketer: Charge into the internet marketing business and clueless about what to do. Running here and there without making any money just for the fun of trial and error.

Rich internet marketer: You have a firm determination that internet marketing is for you and you will do nothing else beside internet marketing. You are clear if your goal and you have a plan to do it. Even though the plan might not be perfect, you are still willing to refine it.

2. Leisure

Poor internet marketer: Is suppose to go online to look for information but got sidetracked and watch video for hours instead. The videos were entertaining and fun to watch. It was so relaxing...

Rich internet marketer: The only leisure you have is to search for inspiration online. There is nothing more fun and satisfying then to get what you want. It just seems to brighten your day.

3. Friends

Poor internet marketer: Hang out with friends who thought that it is impossible to build a profitable internet marketing business. Not a million years for ordinary people. Mingle with friends who laugh at the dream of being a rich internet marketer. Mix with friends who say that the only way to make money with internet marketing is to con people into it.

Rich internet marketer: You hang out with friends who influence you to be innovative, proactive and believe that it is very possible to be financially free with internet marketing. Mingle with friends who are interested to joint venture with you and look into the possibilities to build a profitable online business together. Mix with friends who challenge you to be independent and solve your own problem.

4. Education

Poor internet marketer: Learn internet marketing.

Rich internet marketer: Learn how to be successful in internet marketing.

5. Time

Poor internet marketer: Complain that time is not enough but procrastinate to finish the project. There is some guilt in the heart but delaying the work somehow seems to be light on the shoulders too. And whenever the it was asked about the reason for not making money with internet marketing, not having enough time again became the easy target.

Rich internet marketer: You are sincerely not having enough time. You woke up at 6am and sleep at 2am. You start to swallow your food and you take as small meal as possible (eating too full somehow affect your brain activity). You are constantly thinking about your internet marketing business and how you can make more money with it. Even toilet break has never been so rushing for you.

6. The Business Concept

Poor internet marketer: Making a few thousand a month with internet marketing is enough and this extra money is good to pay for mortgage and clear out loans. Also, it is perfectly normal to work hard for internet marketing because everyone is doing that.

Rich internet marketer: You don't want to follow what everyone else is doing. You want to be a trend setter. You want to break out of the old and boring box and making a few thousand a month is just a starter. You want to earn more and you want to see yourself living in that huge mansion with an Olympic size swimming pool, driving that supercar, feeling happy to wake up in the morning in your cozy bed knowing that there are more zeroes added to your bank account and more. You are hungry for that.

7. Investment

Poor internet marketer: A lot of people are suffering from retrenchment and it is lucky to be able to earn an extra $3k a month with internet marketing. These extras should be kept in saving. Who knows what will happen tomorrow.

Rich internet marketer: The more insecure you feel about tomorrow, the more you want to earn within your power. You understand that you can't "put all the eggs into 1 basket". It is so dangerous. So, you explore more income sources and you are prepare to diversify into the niches you believe to be profitable.

So, what category do you belong to? And where do you want to go?

Affiliate Marketing Tips - Start With Your Strength

Can it be anymore obvious?

If you were to open a shop, will you sell something you know nothing about or something you are familiar with? If you were like me someone who doesn't take risk as lunch, you will start your business with something you know or good at.

That goes the same to your affiliate marketing business.

However, I still couldn't understand how people who used to be conservative in the offline business can became so bold when starting their affiliate marketing business. They can spend thousand of dollars going into the niches they don't know about. Hmmmmm......

Well, I guess that is not for me to say anything. But, if you are conscious about the money you want to make with affiliate marketing, you probably want to start with the niches that you are good at.

Say you are good with photography. Do you know how many digital photography ebooks are on the market? To be frank, is not many. However, there are many people who are interested to improve their digital photography skills. If you saw an updated ebook about digital photography and with your familiarity about the niche, I bet it won't take you long to start making money in the digital photography niche.

How about selling gardening products?

I know that there are many affiliate marketers selling gardening information out there. If you are just started with affiliate marketing, it can be a hard fight to compete with these affiliate marketers.

If that is the case, why don't you shift your attention to something that is related to your niche? Instead of selling gardening ebook, you can focus on stone slab, pebbles, water features and other things that are related to gardening.

By the way, you can use the same tip when you see that your niche is populated with affiliate marketers selling information about your niche. So, instead of selling ebook about how you can brew the perfect coffee, you can be an affiliate for coffee maker, coffee bean or something like that.

Remember, you are not limited to just selling information in affiliate marketing.

I hope you get my point.

Tips For Affiliate Marketers

There are many benefits of being an affiliate marketer. You have more flexible time, you don't need to rush for traffic or stuck in queues and the best part is you can make money at the comfort of your home even on your bed. I hope you start to see the beauty of this business now.

However, as comfortable as running your business at home, you will have to deal with the house chores and other activities that require your attention. And for you know, that can really eat into your time and divert your attention. This will be more obvious when you have children at home. There is certainly no reason to get a babysitter since you are running your own home business. Isn't it?

So, here are some tips for you when you are running your affiliate marketing business at the comfort of your home,

1. Balance time

Picture the time you are starting on your affiliate marketing business and you are staying at home while your spouse is working in an office. You can bet that your spouse will expect you to deal with the house chores. Be ready to cleaning the dishes, iron the clothes, water the plants, walk the dog, get the groceries, change the diapers and etc...

Suddenly, working from home doesn't sound so enjoyable anymore. Right?

As much as I hate to say this, house chores can really take your time and spoil your marketing work. So, make sure you have a clear list of what you need to do and follow it tightly. And if you need to hire help to reduce some of your stress, make sure you do it.

2. Be fair

This tip is only useful when you need to deal with your kids when you are running your business. If they are taking a lot of your time, sometime you do need to be frank with them and tell them that you need to work. Let your kids know that this is important to you.

You can tell your kids to spare you an hour or two and you will do something fun with them once the time is up. Make sure you hold onto your words. You don't want to disappoint the kids and make them feel that they are being neglected.

Still, that doesn't mean that you have to punish them when they distract your work. You might want to wait until they take a nap before you can start your work.

They are your kids. You will have the best way to deal with them.

3. Be honest

With regard to balancing time, for some reasons, your family members just can't seem to see that you are working hard for your business. They might think that you have too much time to spare. To some of them, you might be just making up an excuse to avoid having a solid job.

They thought that your work is light and insignificant. That is probably when they start to shower you with all the house chores. Have you ever had the experience that your mom came into your room and ask you to hang the clothes even though your siblings are comfortably hanging out with PS3 downstairs? I hope you don't because that is really frustrating.

If that is the case, you probably have to speak up for yourself and tell your family members that you are in fact working hard to build your affiliate marketing business. This is just as important as working in an office from Monday to Friday.

Make Money With Blogging

Looking at the enormous bloggers who are making money online, you probably are trying to work out something from your blog. But where do you start? Some said that you should start with free blogging platform and some said you should start with own hosting blog.

Let's take a look with each of them to help you decide which is best for you,

Your own hosted blog

Firstly, you can have a total unique domain name for your blog. Instead of yourblogname.blogspot.com, you can have a blog that is totally under your registration. Neat doesnt it?

And for some reasons, some readers also felt uneasy when they see your blog name is associated with free blogging platform. It probably gives them a bad impression about your blog. Some might even think that you are not serious in this business because you are not hosting your own blog.

So, if you want your blogging business to include readers from every aspect of likelihood, you probably host your own blog.

The next best thing about paying for a hosted blog is that you can total control about the design of your blog. It is similar to having your own website. You can put in whatever design you like and make your display as unique as you can. If you are a creative blogger, there is no end to what you can do with your blog.

When you are blogging with free blogging platform, you are limited to whatever the platforms have for you. You have to make best with that.

Free blogging platforms

As the name implies, the platforms are free. You don't need to pay for the domain name, you are free from the monthly hosting fee. You just focus on writing. This can be real help when you are starting your affiliate marketing business with blogging.

Not just that, free blogging platforms are also good when you are having multiple blogs for multiple products. Imagine the money you have to pay every month even you are not making money with affiliate marketing. This amount can be heavy to someone who is just started with the business.

Another advantage about using free blogging platforms is because you are free from the design of the blog. If don't have much knowledge about HTML code, you will have to spend more money to hire someone to do the website design for you. This again will take you off if you are starting the business with low budget.

And judging from what I have written, you probably still are unsure about using the paid or free blogging platforms. I apologize on that because to be frank, different blogger will have their preferences.

However, I personally think that you ought to start blogging with free platforms first and move to paid platform when you are ready. Take this time to learn all you can about blogging and be familiar with it. When you are ready to shift, just make a post on your free blog and announce that you are moving to a new blog.

If you are readers are loyal to you, they will follow you to the new site. For those who don't follow you, is OK. They might not have much interest about you anyway.

And if you ask me why I am still sticking with free blogging platform, don't factor me into the statistic.

I am just lazy to change.

How To Get Your Customers To Spend More On Your Affiliate Marketing Business

Have you ever seen some affiliate marketers who just seem to be able to get the customers to buy whatever they sell? It felt that the customers just listen to them and dig out their money even though in this challenging economic condition. Have you ever wonder how they manage to do that?

Well, here are 3 tips you can look at.

1. Greater perceived value

Now, everyone see things differently. Some might value your product, some might value your bonuses and some might just value your service. But mostly, customers value the value they get back when they buy your affiliate product.

So, what you need to do here is to create an experience that your customer value. From the beginning of the process to beyond the transaction. You need to follow up with them and see their respond about their purchase. Once your customers see how you run your business, they will stick with you and spend more money with you.

2. Exclusiveness

People feel prestige when you offer them something unique and exclusive. Think about this, how you will feel when you are being offered an exclusive entry into the Ferrari club where you can enjoy the prestige treatment like the members just by buying one of their toy models? I bet many of you will fight for the chance.

Well, that works the same for affiliate marketing. Many people like to be look up to. So, tailored your offer only to those who take action early. Make sure you give them something special and make sure you stress that these exclusive offers are limited.

3. Result

When people buy from you, they expect to see result. If they bought a weight loss ebook from you and it fail miserably, will they buy from you again?

So, it is important that you make sure the product works before you market it. And let's say the product does works, you can actually put in your personal testimonial to support your claims. This let your customers know that you have tried the product and you are ready to back the product up.

With that being said, you can even offer an exclusive bonus to some of the customers where you will guide them personally to get what they want. Customers are more likely to buy from you when they feel that they are being supported.

4 Free Marketing Tips To Help Start Your Affiliate Marketing Business

Now, you might have the best product in the world but you are not making money if people don't know about it. So, as a wise affiliate marketer, you will have to market your product. After all, this is what affiliate marketing is all about. Still, after some years into this business, I still see people who struggle in this.

Actually, marketing can be easy. You just open yourself and ideas will come to you naturally. And to help you on that, here are 4 free marketing tips you can use to kick start your affiliate marketing business,

1. Change

Someone once said "Change when something doesn't work."

And that can't be anymore truer. When you are not making money with affiliate marketing, something must be wrong and you need to change it. To start, let's look at your content (assuming you have your website and you are publishing something to get your customers to buy your product).

When you are publishing something, it is essential that you put in action words in your writing. Don't write stuff that needs your customers to second guess. If you want them to sign up for your newsletter, tell them to do so.

If you want to have better result, you can actually slip in a little information about your product in your writing just to tease your readers. Then, you will want to tell them if they want to know about what you offer, just sign up for your newsletter.

2. Partnership

A lot of affiliate marketer seems to ignore the power of joint venture with other affiliate marketers to build their business. They probably are shy to ask about the partnership. If you are one of them, I think this is the time you have to step out from your comfort zone.

But why is this so important for your business? Think about this. As hardworking as you are to build your business, there will be markets that you never tap before and these people can actually be highly interested to your offer. But when you joint venture with other affiliate marketers, both of you can tap into each other contacts and supplement each other weaknesses.

If you are an affiliate for coffee bean, you can joint venture with affiliate marketers who promote coffee machine. Both of you serve the customers' needs. Building a successful affiliate marketing business can't be anymore win-win than this.

And if you are still hesitate about asking for joint venture, let me tell you this, making money with affiliate marketing is getting more and more difficult by the days. It is wise that you can leverage on all the possibilities you can find to start bringing money for your pocket.

Remember, other affiliate marketers are not monster. They are not going to eat you up. The worst they can do is to ignore your offer. If that is the case, you just move on with other successful affiliate marketers.

3. You are good at?

Yes. What are you good at?

When you are in affiliate marketing, it is important that you start with the niche that you are familiar with. When you can present the information in the way you know it, you will sound more convincing. Your readers will have less rejection believing what you are saying.

Most of all, you will find marketing getting easier when you are marketing from the bottom of your heart.

4. Relationship

In any business setup, relationship plays a big part in closing that deal.

Look back at the time when you bought your car or house, don't you feel that you are somehow established a relationship with the seller. You seem to tell the person what you are looking for and the sales just seem to match what you want. And even he or she can't provide exactly what you want, you are still willing to settle on the second best.

Now, what you need to do is to build that kind of relationship with your affiliate marketing business prospects. It might be an advantage if you have the sales experience but it doesn't mean you can't build that kind of relationship if you are not from sales. You just need to learn it,

Proper PPC Campaign Management

If you are looking into using pay per click (PPC) campaign to build your affiliate marketing business, you ought to know that there are some keywords are more preferable compare to others. Unfortunately, these keywords became the competitive keywords and you will want to avoid these keywords when you are starting with PPC reason being that these keywords are quite expensive in cost. You may need to pay more money so that the search engines will list out your campaign.

If that is the case, what kind of keywords should you look at?

You should look for long tail keywords when you are starting your affiliate marketing business. These keywords are more specific and cost less than the general keywords. However, when you are targeting these keywords in your campaign, be prepare that you will see less traffic coming to your website.

Now, you have to understand that the more traffic doesn't equate more sales and profits. And if these traffic don't buy from you, you lose money. However, people who search with long tail keywords are generally more interested in buying your product.

Let's take a look at the number of searches for "affiliate marketing" when this post is written. According to freekeywords.wordtracker.com, it has 415 searches and "how to affiliate marketing" only has 6 searches.

When you look at the keywords, how likely do you think that 415 searchers are interested to buy from you? Most of them might be just looking for information or just want to know more about the business. Then, imagine you are paying at least $0.10 for the keyword (in reality, the keyword cost usually cost more than $0.10). You will be paying $41.50 everyday and it is $1245 for 30 days.

Tell me please. How many of you can afford that kind of marketing budget.

However, people who search for keywords like "how to affiliate marketing" are actually more open to getting your product because they know what they want. And when you play your cards right on your website, you can definitely get your visitors to buy your product.

And when that happens, money will start to come in.
